1 | Is it kind of a bummer that Killjoys basically “recast” Defiance‘s Stephanie Leonidas in the role of Clara? (Or can the Hackmod easily get her “old” face back?)
2 | What hallucinogenics were circulating at CBS that someone pitched (and another someone signed off on) “Giant Candy Crush meets obstacle course meets Big Brother/Survivor?”

For instance, when Tulip’s true love Jesse insisted that it wouldn’t bring back their baby to kill Carlos — the double-crosser who’d caused her to miscarry — Negga poured all of her character’s sorrow and rage into her response of, “I know, and someone’s gotta pay!” Later, when “God” balked at...

Fast National ratings for Monday, May 18, 2015. The latest season premiere for "The Bachelorette" helped ABC push past NBC and "The Voice" to win Monday among young viewers, while the first part of the "Dancing with the Stars" finale helped CBS win Monday overall. Among other notables, "2 Broke Girls," "Mike & Molly" and "NCIS: Los Angeles" were both up in their latest season finales, while the series finales for "Stalker" and "The Following" were both down. And The CW played a little how-low-can-you-go game with an airing of the film "Celeste & Jesse Forever." Let's get to the numbers... Among adults 18-49, ABC averaged a 2.2 rating for Monday night, edging out NBC's 2.1 rating in the key demographic. CBS was third with a 1.5 key demo rating, topping the 0.9 key demo rating for Fox.

Washington -- One of D.C.'s most popular outdoor movie festivals, Screen on the Green, has revealed its summer 2013 schedule:
July 22 – "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" July 29 – "Norma Rae" August 5 – "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" August 12 – "Tootsie"
The free outdoor movie festival takes place on the National Mall between 7th and 12th Streets, running four consecutive Monday evenings beginning July 22 with family favorite "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial."
“This year’s lineup is one of the best we’ve ever seen –- it is a true celebration of modern American cinema,” Jesse B. Rauch, president and founder of Friends of Screen on the Green, said in a statement.
Friends of Screen on the Green partners with HBO and Comcast for the 15th annual film festival, which attracts around 15,000 people to each showing.
Screen on the Green has been a Washington fixture since 1999 and was nearly canceled in 2009 before a community campaign saved the festival.

Chris Lambton is a runner-up no more. The former Bachelorette contestant - who came in second on Ali Fedotowsky's season - is engaged to fellow reality star Peyton Wright, his rep confirms to People. Lambton, 34, proposed to Wright, 28, a past Bachelor and Bachelor Pad contestant herself, with a David Yurman round cut diamond ring on Saturday at his house in Cape Cod. "I knew it the first day I met her - she walked in and I was like, 'Oh, my God,'" Lambton tells People of Wright, whom he met through fellow Bachelorette contestant, Jesse Beck.

Sorry this is going up so late, there were some DVR issues. But here we are with the "Bachelor Pad" recap.
Triple Elimination
If you missed the first 20 minutes, never fear -- the evening of the guys and girls was completely anticlimactic and boring. Instead of having some kind of competition between the remaining seven girls, they just let the guys pick. So even though they interviewed the guys and pretended like they were really hemming and hawing over their choice, it turned out exactly how you expected. Kiptyn picked Tenley, Kovacs picks Elizabeth, Jesse B. picked Peyton and Dave picked Natalie. Lame. The only interesting thing is now they are competing as couples.
Competition
Kovacs and Elizabeth are convinced the competition will be a how-you-know-your-partner type thing. And it turns out Kovacs knows a lot about Elizabeth and Elizabeth can't remember s*** about Kovacs. God, she is dumb. Sorry,...

Things obviously got very interesting very quickly this episode. You could hear a pin drop when I walked in and dropped the bomb on the cast that three girls would be going home immediately. Remember, I told them the first day we moved in that this moment would be coming. I’m not sure if they forgot, or just didn’t see it coming, but they were all caught by surprise.

"Bachelor Pad" is getting exciting -- not only are three women getting axed right out of the gate, but it looks like there is an illicit use of the Fantasy Suite coming.
But first, Dave assures Kiptyn, Kovacs and Jesse B. that he didn't lie to Krisily. While maybe he didn't flat-out lie, he certainly wasn't straight with her. He got her vote and assured her she was safe, but did he do anything to help her when he found out she was in trouble? Nope.
It also looks like there is some kind of "know your partner" competition, since Elizabeth and Kovacs are quizzing each other. Except apparently Elizabeth's memory is as bad as her boob job, since she can remember absolutely nothing about him.
But why should that stop you from shacking up? It shouldn't, especially when there's a Fantasy Suite on the premises going unused. Oh,...

On Monday’s Bachelor Pad, contestants had to anonymously fill out a survey with more than 50 questions about their fellow contestants, then, in a challenge, publicly reveal what they assumed the majority of the house had answered. For each correct guess, they got a point. Only seven questions made it to air, and two of them — “Who will be a bridesmaid but never a bride?” (Natalie) and “Who has the worst boob job?” (Elizabeth) — sent women sobbing throughout the house. EW asked ABC for the full results. Below, the contestants’ consensus on 43 of the questions. (Producers opted not to share some of the answers.

Hi everyone! I’ve had a lot of giggles along the way as I have watched the different challenges our Bachelor Pad contestants have endured -- like last week's kissing contest. But I must confess to you that this week’s challenge was very difficult. I had a feeling going in that the questions being asked would evoke some emotional responses. And boy, was I right. When folks were with Chris Harrison and me, they were able to keep it together pretty well. But once they got into the house, the floodgates opened up and I can’t blame them.

Upset over Gia's elimination, Wes Hayden accused pretty much everyone else of being fake. You knew he was going to get bounced as a result, but ... Team Wes!
Honestly, this guy is the only one who understands it's a game first and a relationship show second. Not even ABC appears to realize this about its confusing program.
Then again, Wes is back in Texas gettin' nibbles on his pole, and we're sitting here recapping it while the couples vie for $250,000, so who are we to talk strategy?
Jesse Beck wins immunity in the meanest way possible.
Things got more entertaining, albeit in a very high school way, when the Pad unveiled the most ruthless challenge ever, surveying the contestants about the others.
"Who is the meanest" or the "worst liar" or has "the worst boob job" ... feelings will be hurt. Except Chris Harrison's, that is. The host-pimp does it all straight-faced.

On "Bachelor Pad," Krisily gets played and the ugly truth comes out.
Post-Vote
Wes wants to have it out about how everybody is so fake and Dave gets in his face and since neither of them can string a coherent sentence together, it's a lot of "Or what?!" Heh. Before it gets to ridiculous, the Surveys of Truth arrive. It looks to be about 50 questions about the other houseguests. This should be an amazing competition. As Krisily says, "It's gonna get nasty."
The Nasty Truth
The idea is people guess who the majority of the house said. Each time you get it right, you get a point. First person to four points wins. We wish the win total was more, four points is not very much.
Anyway, question one is who is going to win? Most people guess Kiptyn and that's the right answer. Next is who is your biggest enemy?...

After eliminating Jonathan Novack (the weatherman) and Gia Allemand on last week's "Bachelor Pad," this week the action kicked off with the bachelors and bachelorettes confronting the issues that were making it difficult for them to get along. Wes Hayden and David Good went at it hot and heavy, which left both men determined to get the women to vote the other one out. Then the competitors were asked to fill out a questionnaire, which asked them to rate the others in the house. The next morning, after the votes were tallied, the bachelors and bachelorettes were put to the test and asked to guess how the majority voted. Here are some sample questions and answers: Who do most of you believe is going to win? Answer: Kipytn Locke. Who is your biggest enemy? Answer: Krisily Kennedy. Who is the most shallow? Answer: Elizabeth Kitt. Who is the dumbest? Answer: Gwen Gioia.

We've said after each of the first two weeks of Bachelor Pad's run that it reminds us of a ripoff Big Brother with one exception - no characters we really care about watching.
Last night showed, if nothing else, that some of the Pad participants can bring the drama - and not just because they will "kiss every guy in the house for like twenty bucks."
From the onset, Gia was upset that Nikki backed out of the plan to oust Kiptyn, while Elizabeth conspired to boot Gia next, and the Meathead Alliance plotted its next move.
Amazingly, for all the nasty competitions on Big Brother, this one took the cake - the guys and girls had to vote, blindfolded, on the best kisser, having sampled All of them.

They say that love…. We’ll continue that song in just a bit. Let’s begin this week with a kiss. Who knew a simple little kissing contest would tear the world apart like it did in the house this week. Ashley is a high school teacher and felt like she would be compromising her values and letting her students down by taking part, so she pulled out of the competition. I have to go with my original feeling about it that day and say I respect the move. She felt like a hypocrite and I respect anybody for standing up for what they believe.

"Bachelor Pad" introduced two interesting facets this week -- a Kissing Contest and Fantasy Suites.
Voting Aftermath
Gia calls Nikki out in front of the entire house for flipping from Kiptyn to Craig. Gia completely blames Nikki, which is a bit rich since if she had stuck to the rose plan and not given into Country Wes-tern, Craig would still be there and "The Outsiders" would still have the numbers.
Hope Your Shots are Current
The competition this episode is a Kissing Contest. Wow. Everybody has to kiss everybody else (the kissees are blindfolded) and then they vote on the best male and best female kissers. Hilariously, everybody thinks they're going to win -- because everybody thinks they're a good kisser. Everybody always thinks that -- and it rarely proves true.
The girls are blindfolded first and Elizabeth is creepily commenting and moaning while she gets kissed. She then...

We can't believe Bachelor Pad exists, that we watched it, or that we are doing reviews of it here at TV Fanatic. But this is kind of what we do. So here goes nothing.
If anarchy, oversexed singles and a hybrid of Big Brother and The Bachelor appeals to you, this show probably seems awesome. But both are better individually.
It's just not that compelling to watch heavy petting between Jesse Beck and Natalie, or the trumped up conflict between "insiders" and "outsiders." We're just over it.
Don't get us wrong. We'll be there when The Bachelor returns. It's just that watching Bachelor rejects compete in a pie-eating contest is not must-see TV. That's all.
Weatherman Jonathan has a moment he will cherish forever.
Gia and Weatherman Jonathan ended up winning said contest. Both made it a strategy to pick people who weren't already in pairs. Gia even gave a...

On the second episode of "Bachelor Pad," we find "The Outsiders" alliance compelling -- but just when Gia has our respect, she screws it up by falling for the "Love, It Don't Come Easy" guy.
Crazypants and Kovacs
Now that Michelle is gone, Elizabeth shall hitherto be known as "Crazypants." Anyway, Crazypants gets her way because Kovacs realizes he's better off with a partner (or he realizes that if he rebuffs her, she will stab him in his sleep poison the women against him) and decides to be with Cp.
She's my cherry pie ...
Oh, this show ... too many jokes. So the competition is pie-eating. Tenley told us earlier that we "may want to close our eyes" on this one -- and she was not lying. This is not sexy. This is disgusting. Tenley, to her credit since she seems like a Disney princess, does puke and rally, which is hardcore.

There was a lot of plotting and scheming going on before the first challenge on the second episode of "Bachelor Pad" on Monday night. The women already saw themselves as the "inside girls" vs. the "outside girls" and were taking measures to strengthen their alliances. "I am a little concerned coming into the house with a boyfriend," Gia (from "The Bachelor" Jake's season and one of the outside girls) said. "I think the guys are going to get rid of me." The first challenge was a pie-eating contest. The prize was a rose, which meant safety from elimination, plus, the chance for a romantic date. Even though Krisily (Charlie's season) might be in jeopardy of going home, she told host Chris Harrison that she couldn't compete because she had had her gall bladder removed and eating a whole pie wasn't an option. She felt her health was more important...

Things are quickly heating up on "Bachelor Pad," the newest summertime guilty pleasure from ABC. In these sneak peek clips from Monday's episode (Aug. 16), Wes tells Gia he loves her and Jesse
"I'm crazy about you ... You're everything that anybody would ever want. I wish that circumstances were different ... You're not mine, you're never going to be mine ... but I've got this infatuation that you're kinda my girl ... I love you," says Wes. Wow, "Bachelor Pad" fans. What do we make of that?
And on the other end of the love spectrum, Jesse might just want to be friends with Natalie because he's heard that she's "made the rounds" with the "Bachelor" franchise guys. Ouch.
"Bachelor Pad" airs Monday nights at 8 p.m. Et on ABC.

The first-ever season of Bachelor Pad kicked off on ABC last night as 19 of the most memorable former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants arrived at the mansion. Chris Harrison - who co-hosts alongside Melissa Rycroft - explains that they will be competing for the second chance to find love and win $$250,000. Tenley (Jake's season) is first to arrive, and says she feels like it's time for a new beginning. She is followed by Jesse B (Ali's season) and Natalie (Jason's season), who express a mutual interest in each other. Next up is David (Jillian's season), Gwen (Aaron's season) and Jessie (Jake's season). They are followed by Jonathan (Ali's season) - who doesn't want to see Craig M - and Nikki (Jason's season), who doesn't want to see Juan because they dated briefly. Unfortunately, he is next to arrive and seems (more)...

Hey men! You know how it is when you're casually dating a girl, but she wants something more serious than you do, so you try to gently tell her that you should just be friends? But then you know how she inevitably takes what you said the wrong way, because she's crazy in love with you, and you're both on a reality show trying to win $250,000 and, oh yeah, she's also certifiably insane? And then you know how you're in a real pickle, because you either have to take back the truth you said so you don't lose your chance at the money, or you have to risk seriously pissing off a woman with crazy-eyes whom you literally cannot escape from because you're both trapped in a house with no phone and no way to get out? So you know how you just lie and apologize and hold her hand...

'Bachelor Pad' (8Pm, ABC) series premiere
Lest there be a 'Bachelor'/'Bachelorette'-less period in the primetime lineup (after last week's 'Bachelorette' season finale), ABC is bringing back 19 former looking-for-love contestants and putting them together in the titular 'Bachelor' mansion, where they'll compete against in each other in a series of challenges for a shot at winning $250,000. Among the familiar faces: Ali Fedotowsky cast-offs Craig M., Jesse B. and weatherman Jonathan; Jake Pavelka reject Ashley E. (who surprised Jake by showing up in a flight attendant uniform); Pavelka rejects Elizabeth K., model Gia and spazz dancer Tenley; Aaron Burge bachelorette Gwen G.; Jillian Harris runner-up Kiptyn; and notorious 'Bachelorette' contestant Wes H., the one who admitted only going on the show to find fame. 'Bachelor' host Chris Harrison and 'Bachelor' alum Melissa Rycroft host the action, which, tonight, kicks off with a spirited game of Twister.

We've seen the sexy game of Twister. We've seen Jesse Beck and Natalie Getz getting romantic. Now we bring you Jonathan "the Weatherman" Novack getting touchy-feely all around the "Bachelor Pad" house. Perhaps we should call him Jonathan the Masseuse?
"I'll be the house masseuse," Jonathan smarms. Juan Barbieri advises him to "stop being creepy," but Jonathan seems to think he's joking. And Jesse Kovacks says the girls are going along with it because Jonathan has a vote, but they're totally creeped out by it.
Interesting. We're surprised there was no footage of Craig McKinnon making fun of lil' Jonathan. Guess we'll just have to wait and see on that one.
"Bachelor Pad's" two-hour premiere airs Monday, Aug. 9 at 8 p.m. Et on ABC.

"Bachelor Pad" is almost here. We've already seen the scantily-clad contestants play a sexy game of Twister, but here is another sneak peek. This one is a tad more romantic.
Watch Jesse Beck from Ali Fedotowsky's season, and Natalie Getz from Jason Mesnick's season getting cuddly on the couch while the Classic Romantic Piano plays and the fire roars in the background. We wonder if they get a special romantic date because one or both of them won some kind of challenge?
Look for more sneak peeks in the coming days, including one where Michelle makes Tenley cry. The "Bachelor Pad" two-hour premiere airs Monday, Aug. 9 at 8 p.m. Et on ABC.

As Ali's Bachelorette season winds down, Bachelor fans have a new spin on the franchise to look forward to: Bachelor Pad kicks off August 9, and the premiere episode will certainly set the sexy, competitive tone that the show seems to be going for.
Check out two sneak peeks at the series premiere two Mondays from now: In the first, the original 19 Pad residents play a tricky game of Twister that quickly turns dirty as their already exposed body parts get twisted. Juan at least admits and embraces the distractions.
Then, speaking of tricky, check out the chemistry between housemates Natalie and Jesse B. as they try to balance their attraction, game strategies and ever-refilling champagne glasses.
